RE: [RC] status reportoon Oconee WMA ride - Steph Teeter Peggy - if your ride has used the DNR trails for the Oconee ride in
the past, then surely you can make the argument that there
are 'existing, designated public use trails'. Maps, photos, etc from
previous rides? Riders in the area willing to meet with the director and explain
how important the trails are, willingness to help, etc etc?

No special use permits, no bikers, no rock climbers, no orienteering. They don't want you there. The lower level DNR guys are mad, because they want people to use the land. So...the OCONEE ride is now, officially out of existence. I appreciate everyone who came to ride with us over the years and hope all of you ride well and safely! Keep your ears and eyes open...if it can happen in Georgia, it can happen in your state.
